Congratulations to M3ntal on putting down a very impressive 1/4 mile run with his stock motor 996TT. You may remember this car dyno'd 717 wheel horsepower on the stock motor with E85 at 22 psi. For this run the car was running 22psi and E85 along with FP30R turbos with the tune coming from Roshan Patel. The end result is a very stout 10.3@136 1/4 mile run. The car also appears to be converted to rear wheel drive.

Ditching the all wheel drive makes the car lighter but also allows for more horsepower to the rear wheels. Not to mention parts won't break as easily on the strip. Putting power down does not seem to be an issue as the 60 foot time was 1.671.

Nice 60ft I wasn't expecting that... E85 make a nice difference, I would love to run that with my build but nothing easily accessible for me. Whats the next mod, you're to close to a 9 sec ride now LOL

So you spent under 10k to go from stock to where you are now? What's a fair price for a good condition 996tt? I haven't looked much but seems there around 40k. Debating whether I should stick with a 335i and Vargas stage 3's when they come out or jump ship to a p car... Have you ever tested your 60-130?

Goddamn and here I wanted a lightly used C6 z06 next, but a used 996tt sounds just as tempting. Love it, thanks for the video.

A c6z06 is a great car. H/C/I and you're making close to 600 and trapping in the 130s. When I was on pump gas at 1.2 bar my buddies H/C/I z06 was pretty much dead even with me. At the current power level I'm at now I think I'd walk him pretty easily. There's just something sexy about a really fast Porsche IMHO.

Granted I did all the work myself in my little garage, yes that is what I spent. Stock motor, stock manifolds, and stock Y-pipe....You can find them for around 40k. Buy from an older guy and most likely it'll have low miles and be in fantastic shape. They have a few small issues but the drivetrain is over-engineered and can take the power. You won't regret it

Just talked the shop today I was almost swap blocks today but ended up realizing it wouldnt work the way I intended. But I spoke with the builder waiting on my spec'd cam to arrive next week and should begin assembly next week. Figure by Mid-Jan to have it running with a base tune and some mild break in driving. Then a full tune.. Very excited
